Researchers at Stanford have developed a porous biologics-loaded multimaterial construct, called Hybrid Tissue Engineering Construct (HyTEC), with applications in regenerative medicine and therapeutic delivery.
Based on their proprietary HyTEC tissue engineering platform, researchers at Stanford have developed an osteoinductive intramedullary implant (IM) device for improved bone healing.
Activation of hedgehog signaling pathway can facilitate stem cell proliferation and holds great promise in regenerative medicine for a variety of indications.
Researchers at Stanford have developed methods to enhance bone healing in diabetic patients, who often suffer from impaired fracture healing due to a deficiency in hedgehog signaling in their skeletal stem cells.
A team of Stanford researchers have identified a skeletal stem cell (SSC) along with the protein factors needed to direct differentiation toward bone, cartilage or bone marrow stroma.
